Gordon's Bible.

In one of the great picture galleries
at Windsor Castle are several precious
caskets, among other exquisite objects
de vertu. The Queen entered one day
with a small book in her hand and
asked the keeper of these treasures
which was the most rare and valuable
of all the caskets. He showed her one
made of pure rock Crystal, ornamented
with gold and enamel. In this casket
the Queen placed the small book
General Gordon's pocket Bible, an
noted and marked by his own hand,
and in this precious casket will remain
this most precious relic of one of Eng
lands greatest heroes.

MUCH of the lasting effect and benefit
of Masonry depends upon the dignity
and solemnity attending the initiation.
If candidate is met with a spirit of
rather than OF seriousness, he is
most likely to conclude that the whole
thing is kind of farce. But if the
deep and solemn lessons are impressed
upon his mind with that degree of ear
nestness which they demand, he goes out
profoundly impressed with Masonry's
beauty and grandeur-Ex.

Knights of Pythlas.

Last Wednesday night, the officers of
DeLeon Lodge, No. 40, K. of p, were
installed in most happy and interest
ing manner. The following is a list of
the officers installed, and we know that
each one of them viii labor zealously
for whatever may be good Tor the Or

A. Hyman, 2. c.; S. A. Jacobowsky,
C. C..H. G.. Dunn, V. c.; Julius

of r. and s.; J. J. Havers, /. c., John
kirehner, O. q.
Attendants-John Lotterhos, John
Witteman, Jacob Each and Fred Mar
tin.
After the installation exercises were
concluded, the brethren were invited
out to the anteroom, where magnifi-
cent supper awaited them, to which all
did full Justice, the proceedings giving
zest TO their appetites. DeLeon
Lodge, we are pleased to learn, is in a
highly fourishing condition and doing a
great and good work, which we hope
will be continued to the end of time

The following from Companion Isaacs,
of Virginia, will bear thinking of by
Masonic writer's, who cannot find any
subject on which they have not written
themselves out, and felt disgusted at
having to repeat themselves:
"We once had the temerity, many
years ago, to say in the presence of a ten
year old boy, "The same old questions
come up yesr after year for discussion,
until the scope of the English language
has been exhausted. There is no new
word to be found that can be slipped in
to relieve the monotony of writing on
them.' We were justly rebuked by his
comment: But, father, younger ones
are coming along all the time to be edu-
Gated. / know my letters and my little
brother wants to learn his. Because /
know them, shall / not repeat them to
him until he learns themT Thus it is
| in all institutions, the same old theo-
ries, the same old questions and the
same old answers to be giyen-repeated
over and over again. They are new to
the enquirer, and he is entitled to an
answer, though they may have been an
swered by the sold man daily for his
three score and ten years, and thus have
become rather monotonous to him. No;
encourage the boys to ask questions,
and to keep asking them until they are
satisfied with the answers. -Ex.
